The alt-pop singer is returning, with the Nine Inch Nails frontman bringing his talents behind the desk.
Halsey has announced her follow-up to 2020's Manic, with the new album set to be produced by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross.
Called If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power, the 'Without Me' and 'Closer' singer posted a 10-second trailer featuring the album's title on a billboard.
No release date is confirmed yet, but fans of the alternative pop singer will be excited that Reznor and Ross will be bringing their Oscar Award-winning talents to the table for the new record. The duo most recently won Best Original Score for their acclaimed soundtrack to Pixar's Soul.
Hot Press' Lucy O'Toole praised Halsey's last album, noting that the singer takes "a brutally introspective approach" and "offers a stunning view into the mind of a talented but troubled young woman.
"There’s no denying the power of Halsey’s lyrics," she continued. "Fearlessly vulnerable, her defiant rise to the top of the pop hierarchy continues."

Last week the singer pledged her support for Britney Spears after she delivered a powerful testimony in her conservation hearing.
“Bless Britney and I hope with my whole heart she is awarded freedom from this abusive system,” she said. “She deserves it more than anything. I admire her courage speaking up for herself today.”
"Additionally, fuck anyone who thinks they have the authority as an institution or individual to control a person’s reproductive health. #FreeBritney."
